This Privacy Policy explains how DevUtils ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and safeguards your information when you visit our website and use our suite of developer tools. Our core philosophy is to minimize data collection and maximize client-side processing.
1. Local-First Processing
The majority of the tools provided on DevUtils (including the NEXTAUTH_SECRET generator, JWT generator, Bcrypt hasher, and Base64 converter) operate entirely within your web browser utilizing the standard Web Crypto API.
- The raw text, passwords, or configurations you input are processed locally on your device's CPU.
- We do not transmit your input data to any external servers.
- We do not log, monitor, or record the cryptographic secrets you generate.
2. Analytics and Telemetry
To understand how our tools are being utilized and to ensure the platform remains stable, we use basic, privacy-respecting analytics. This telemetry is fully anonymized and aggregates metrics such as page views, general geographic region (country/city level), and browser types. We do not collect or store IP addresses or any Personally Identifiable Information (PII).
3. Cookies and Local Storage
DevUtils does not deploy marketing, advertising, or cross-site tracking cookies. We may utilize standard browser `localStorage` or `sessionStorage` strictly for functional purposes, such as remembering your theme preference (Light/Dark mode) or preserving tool state during an active session to enhance your user experience.
4. Contact Information
If you have any questions, concerns, or feedback regarding this Privacy Policy or the security architecture of our tools, please reach out to the developer via GitHub.
